   I'm trying to write an "external file transfer protocol" to run under
Procomm Plus, but I'm having a problem with it:  The only way I can get
my program to be able to access the COM1: port (where my modem is) is by
having my program (in Turbo C 2.0) do its output to the stdout device and
redirect this to COM1:.  If I try to use the stdaux device, the output
seems to go nowhere; even if I explicitly open "com1:" and write to it, the
output still doesn't get to the modem.

   Anyone have any ideas?
